Telemecanique LC1 to Schneider TeSys D Cross Reference — Contactors & LRD Overloads
If your part number reads like LC1D0910 or LC1-D2510 — with the auxiliary contact count baked into the number — you’re holding a pre-2001 Telemecanique D2-series contactor, and the current Schneider TeSys D equivalent has a different, shorter number. The translation rule is simple once you know it: post-2001 TeSys D contactors include 1 NO + 1 NC auxiliary as standard, so the auxiliary digits dropped out of the part number. An LC1D0910 became an LC1D09 plus a coil-voltage code; the tables below run that conversion for the full amperage range, with the coil-code table alongside.
The catches are in the accessories, and they’re exactly what ships wrong when someone converts the number without the notes. Overloads: pre-2001 LR2 overload relays do not mount on TeSys D contactors — select the replacement from the LRD range (mapped below). Mechanical interlocks: the interlock design changed; a TeSys D cannot be mechanically interlocked to a D2, so reversing pairs must be replaced as a pair. Coil connections: the top-mounted A2 coil terminal is gone — the LAD4BB adapter restores a top A2 connection where panel wiring demands it. Suppressors: now a clip-on side module. Pneumatic timers and add-on auxiliary blocks carried over with renumbered references.
Run your old number through the tables, note the flagged accessories, and you have the complete modern bill of materials — or send us the old numbers and we’ll do the conversion, including the coil voltage decode.
TeSys D contactors and LRD overloads ship from stock in the common sizes, and we source obsolete D2-series originals when a like-for-like swap is the requirement.

1. The D2 to TeSys D Transition
In 2001, Telemecanique (now Schneider Electric) overhauled the contactor line. The old D2 series used a trailing “10” or “01” in the part number to denote a single built-in auxiliary contact (1 NO or 1 NC). The modern TeSys D integrates both 1 NO and 1 NC directly into the base unit, allowing the part number to shorten significantly. However, mechanical clearances, interlock mechanisms, and overload pin spacing shifted during this upgrade, making full assembly awareness critical.
2. LC1-D (D2 Era) to TeSys D Contactor Mapping
| Legacy D2 Contactor | Amperage (AC-3) | TeSys D Replacement | Notes & Configuration |
|---|---|---|---|
| LC1D0910 / LC1D0901 | 9A | LC1D09 + [Coil Code] | New unit includes 1 NO + 1 NC standard. |
| LC1D1210 / LC1D1201 | 12A | LC1D12 + [Coil Code] | New unit includes 1 NO + 1 NC standard. |
| LC1D1810 / LC1D1801 | 18A | LC1D18 + [Coil Code] | New unit includes 1 NO + 1 NC standard. |
| LC1D2510 / LC1D2501 | 25A | LC1D25 + [Coil Code] | New unit includes 1 NO + 1 NC standard. |
| LC1D3210 / LC1D3201 | 32A | LC1D32 + [Coil Code] | New unit includes 1 NO + 1 NC standard. |
| LC1D4011 / LC1D5011 / LC1D6511 | 40A / 50A / 65A | LC1D40A / LC1D50A / LC1D65A | “A” suffix designates standard EverLink terminal design on new units. |
| LC1D8011 / LC1D9511 | 80A / 95A | LC1D80 / LC1D95 | Footprint varies slightly from legacy D2. |
3. LR2-D to LRD Overload Relay Cross Reference
| Legacy Overload Series | Amp Range | TeSys D Replacement | Mounting Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| LR2D13xx Series (e.g., LR2D1310) | 0.1A – 32A | LRDxx Series (e.g., LRD10) | Legacy LR2 overloads will NOT mount to new LC1D contactors. Must upgrade as a pair. |
| LR2D33xx Series | 17A – 65A | LRD33xx Series | Pin spacing differs from D2 era. Requires modern TeSys D contactor. |
| LR2D43xx Series | 55A – 140A | LRD43xx Series | Independent mounting blocks available if separating from contactor. |
4. Accessory & Wiring Change List
| Accessory Type | Legacy D2 Series | TeSys D Equivalent | Conversion Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Interlock | LA9D1110 / LA9D… | LAD9R1V (varies by size) | ⚠ Old interlock will not fit TeSys D. If one half of a reversing pair fails, the entire pair and interlock must be upgraded. |
| Coil Terminal Extension | Top A2 Wiring (Native) | LAD4BB Adapter | TeSys D removed the top A2 terminal. LAD4BB restores it for tight panel spaces. |
| Surge Suppressors | LA4D Series | LAD4 Series | New suppressors are clip-on modules. |
| Auxiliary Contacts | LA1DN Series | LADN Series | Old blocks physically fit in many cases, but LADN replacements are recommended for proper mechanical seating. |
5. Common Coil Voltage Codes
| Voltage Rating | AC Coil Code (50/60Hz) | DC Coil Code | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24V | B7 | BD | TeSys D DC coils often incorporate built-in surge suppression standard. |
| 120V | G7 | – | Most common US control voltage. |
| 208-240V | U7 | – | For line-voltage control loops. |
| 480V | T7 | – | – |
